Speaking as someone who did fundraising, you need both.
You do get some perspective volunteering. My daughter just volunteered at a food pantry and met a single mom who has brain cancer and not enough money for food.

Thank you for saying this. This is what it's all about.
I know it can be a bit.......contentious here at times, especially around the draft, but that comes with passion so, it's bound to happen.
Beneath it all, people come here to be with other fans and share their passion for the game and this team.
We fall short of our own standards at times.
I'm thankful we have members like you who are willing to remind all of us to love and respect one another.
The site is like family. Families squabble but do hang together

I see it like this. Some people will DVR a game because they can't watch it. Then they avoid all chatter until they watch it because they want to enjoy the game.
I understand that some people want to know immediately. I have a sister who consistently reads the last page of a book because she cannot stand not knowing how it turns out while she's reading it.
Personally, I've been avoiding all Game of Thrones chatter because I'm waiting for all episodes to be streaming so I can briefly reactivate my HBO subscription and binge watch it.
Currently avoiding all End Game talk as well.
Most people are willing to avoid spoilers. Most people are willing to not post spoilers for 5 minutes.
But this thing where people feel that they have to know now (which they are free to do) but also they are livid that they have to wait 5 minutes to post it here is new.
I think we need to be mindful of what we've always been, which is a place for conversation rather than a place mostly for reacting.
It's what makes us different from other options.
I get spoiler alerts, we have them here as well......just not for the draft. It's such a short lag that it seems more than reasonable to ask people to not post it and ruin the anticipation.
The anger that seems to come with the push back is new. The disdain for those only asking for five minute embargo is disappointing.
